Domestic Gas Cylinders: 5 kg, 10 kg Composite, and 14.2 kg
The 5 kg, 10 kg Xtralite and 14.2 kg cylinders are largely meant for domestic use and comprise almost 90% of all packed LPG distributed across India.
5 kg
The 5kg Indane cylinder for domestic use is a standard cylinder requiring the usual documentation for a new connection.
10 kg Composite
The Indane 10 kg composite gas cylinder is a modern alternative to traditional steel cylinders, offering several advantages in terms of weight, safety, and visibility of the gas level. It features a three-layered construction: a blow-molded HDPE inner liner, a polymer-wrapped fiberglass composite layer, and an HDPE outer jacket. This design makes it lighter than steel cylinders and translucent, allowing users to easily check the remaining LPG level.
